I think the chiefs are a DMac injury away from not winning the comp
The same could have been said about Crusaders and Mo'unga the previous 7 years
Maybe but that has nothing to do with 2024.

But jog on with your fickle support, just don't come running back when the Crusaders start winning again
Not sure telling supporters to jog on is the best thing for the game.
I don't think the post he was responding to was from a supporter mate, just someone who swaps between codes as suits.

No the person he responded to has been a long time Crusader supporter and has been heavily involved in the Chch rugby scene for a long time.

fucking Hurricanes fans. Non stop negaitivity for years and years and year
this coach sucks. that coach sucks. this player sucks. that player sucks. too wellington-centric. not wellington-centric enough
they have one good month where they've beaten the Force, the Rebels, the Crusaders (ie 3 of the 5 shittest teams in the comp), took OT to win a shakey one against the Reds, and beat the Blues who had a fucking halfback on the wing, and suddenly it's nothing but relentless positivity and everyone else needs to come along for the ride.
it's fucking shameless is what it is

oh, i get it now
this is an elaborate troll. caners has been copy/pasting from old Warriors forums

@mariner4life I thought bitching and moaning about your team when they are shit and then being overly positive when they win is normal standard on the Fern, is it not? We definitely aren't the only fans that do it.

While we may not win it this year, there is no way the dynasty is over look at the result from our Under 20s. Other teams realise we simply haven't clicked this year, when we do watchout. At the very least I expect to see a few games where we do click, sadly it maybe too late for this season. What we will be looking at is a massive reset for the future and player/coaching overhaul. The Crusaders still have a lot to play for including a new stadium and they may even have a new NRL franchise breathing down their necks.

Yeah 100% Mate the Dynasty may have a few cracks this year but will come back.

I wouldn’t want to play us in the quarterfinals
with all our players back. -
@chchfanatic who are all these players, Barrett yes , Taylor maybe , rest ain't that much maybe Williams
-
@Chris thanks mate. First year without being involved for 27 years. The CRFU has finally worn me down. They have zero care for club rugby. We have lost 2 great clubs this year and I know there’s a couple more that are struggling too.
For what they pay 1 All Black a year would be enough money to run all of club rugby in chch. Rant over 😂😂 -

If the evil empire can get a few wins to end the season, and have a few of their better players back, they are a team I wouldn't want in the first round.
Especially, if they can get better cohesion with what they can do with their available players, they could be much more dangerous. They look to me like they don't have a clear strategy of how they want to play on both sides of the ball.
If they simplified the game plan to maximise the skills of the players they have, I could see them being much more dangerous.
For example, I don't think they should be starting Heinz, but if they must, then ruck a kick/chase game off his box kicks.
Aumua should be brought into to 12 to be a go forward bail out option and basically the ball won't go much further past him (or Reece on the short ball) when they do run it unless there is a clear scoring option.
So, take out the side to side and opt for territory at the expense of anything in their half. Focus on in-hand kicking from 10 and from Fihaki, with lots of contestables to suit their wings and FB in the air.
For the forwards, the line-out needs fixing urgently. If they can't get that right, nothing else will really matter tbh. After that, it's accuracy on both sides of the ball and adding a few more class players.

Ok , just the tone of his post seemed like a fickle type supporter who was crowing the death of rugby.
